After the collapse of Thomas Cook left hundreds of thousands of passengers reliant on the British state to repatriate them, Prime Minister Boris Johnson questioned whether bosses should have paid themselves so much ahead of its demise.
Hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers were stranded on Monday by the collapse of the world’s oldest travel firm Thomas Cook, sparking the largest peacetime repatriation effort in British history.
The British 178-year-old Thomas Cook Group Plc. tour operators have filed for bankruptcy in the United Kingdom, leaving some 600,000 tourists stranded at their holiday destinations, which has prompted the government to launch a massive airlift to bring them back home using 45 chartered airliners.
